About Me 
Mafalda Gonçalves is a Researcher at INEGI – Institute of Science and Innovation in Mechanical and Industrial Engineering, within the Advanced Manufacturing Processes unit. Her research focuses on finite element–based numerical tools, manufacturing processes simulation, topology optimization, and data-driven approaches for model calibration and improvement of manufacturing processes. She is currently involved in the Hi-Rev agenda, contributing to both technical activities and institutional project management, and is the Principal Investigator of an exploratory FCT-funded project on data-driven methodologies for model calibration. She contributed to the European research project "VForm-xSteels" while collaborating with the University of South Brittany during her Ph.D. She completed her Ph.D. in Mechanical Engineering at the University of Aveiro in December 2024 and holds a Master’s degree in Mechanical Engineering (2020) from the same institution. Her research work has been disseminated through international peer-reviewed journals (5) and international conferences (10).
